The muslim population in the UK is 6% . Appalling racism.

I had these headaches too when levels were red. I've never experienced symptoms like that before.

Putin didn't bank on the resolve of the west to support Ukraine. They have. He's learnt a lesson. It's been pointless and caused needless suffering to his country. But he won't walk away if he can't save face. You have to let him keep something and show he wasted lives and money for something, so he can take it to the Russian population as a win (even if it is nothing). But he also has to know (and probably has) he can't do this <deleted> again.

In April 1968, Joe Biden received a draft notice as he was about to graduate from law school; but after a medical examination he was reclassified by the Selective Service System as "1-Y", not available for service except in national emergency, due to having had asthma as a teenager. Don't think Zalesnki has served either. Neither has Putin or Trump. Makes you sick

I was referring to the peace keeping army you said should be deployed into Ukraine. If Russia don't agree to it, then it's not really a peace keeping army is it? If they then drop a bomb on them, what then ? Do we then attack Russia? It's easy for this to esculate is my opinion.

They tend to drink spirits. The British benidorm crew drink larger.

What if Putin drops bombs on them ? What would we do then?

What if Putin then drops a bomb on a UK city or French city. Are Nato then going to declare war on a nuclear power? Are they capable of doing that .... when it clearly looks like there is no American support. Personally they need to be careful. They've made their point - and probably hurt Russia enough now for them to not contemplate doing it again anywhere else. Personally no need for boots on ground. Ukraine isn't worth destroying the world over. Over the past few weeks i have had so many people come up to me from their experiences in Ukraine, describing how racist society was there for them before the invasion - that i am loosing my sympathy. One indian guy said when the war started and people were fleeing on the trains, him and other fellow Indians were told to get out of the trains and kicked out the train stations as it was for Ukrainians only - despite living there for generations. Heard stories before that too.

Arrived back in the UK. Took a deep breath with clean fresh air. That first breath really feels good after a year in Thailand unable to properly breathe. For nearly a year now whenever i have been outside in Bangkok, walking the 'sidewalks', surrounded by some of the worst vehicle pollution i have ever known in the history of any country, black diesel emissions in your face, stationary traffic just blowing weird emissions out, red busses with smoke coming out of them like they on fire - clearly Thailand doesn't enforce emissions on their cars (something even India is very strict about). As a result i have developed a pattern of a bizarre slow breathing so i am not fully inhaling the emissions. Honestly, arrived back in the UK yesterday and felt i could finally breath again. The air is beautiful. Crisp. Clean. Amazing.

Pollution is an awful problem here FROM VEHICLES. Too many vehicles. My business place was not too far from Wongwinyai, but you literally see motorbikes and cars passing you on the 'sidewalk' with black smoke coming out of them. Utterly horrific.

THey need to raise prices of alcohol like Spain has done to keep the trash and Benidorm British crew away.

As told, Trump saying compromise on tarrifs coming soon. All nonsense

The worst is the left turn. Even with a red light, apparently you can turn left.

What's to complain about - get yourself down to Nana Plaza for the evening.

Don't think that happens anymore. Most of the ladies on my instagram are out there working in 'hospitality' are doing very well. It's the cream of the crop, no aunties or plus 40 bangers here. Viewing those pages purely for research of course.

You make a good point. The middle east especially is a minefield for taking the best thai ladies.

I'm sure in a population close to 30 millon prositution goes on. Like i say, the media hype it up to be some sort of hardcore police state with every citizen being watched by 10 men. It wasn't like that. Now granted, i'm sure as tourists we were being watched, and they are deeply suspicious. But like i said, we did leave areas to walk around and we got a feel of the capital city. And i caveat that with knowing the other cities may well be dumps, but again we took a coach journey and it seemed all very normal. The media hype and fascination with it is all made up.

And the markets fall for it hook line and sinker everytime. Just watch it will be cancelled. It's in his thick book 'art of the deal' or whatever it was called. Act the crazy man. Push it to the limit. Then compromise rite at the end. He actively watches the stock market, so he's not going to watch it sink. If he was that serious he would have just gone ahead and did it last month. He's just playing the big guy and wanting to act clever. But it's doing harm to America's repuation around the world as a competent partner. Or the markets may well just look at it as trying to get through the next 4 years.

Nothing is going to happen. He will cancel it at the last minute again,citing he got some concession. He does this literally all the time.

The irony of all ironies ..... THAILAND allows Indians travellers to visit visa free - something no other country on this planet allows. India does not even let Thais enter their country without the horrific visa process, and even then it's not a given. Appalling.

Same same a few days of headlines then back to normal. They simply cannot crack down on all the foreign business open these days since the visa relaxations.

An abolute disgrace, but the country has become a colony.

I've been to North Korea, on one of these organised tours before covid. Do not believe the media hype that the country is some bizarre closed off end of the world type living. It's not. It's certainly not a rich country, but by no means poverty you would associate with some African states - and i've seen real poverty in India too. Granted we were on a strict organised tour, but we also had moments we could just wander around. Don't believe the hype. North Korea, the capital Pyongang is a pretty normal metropolsis - certainly better than the dump of some cities in the UK. There were plenty of Chinese visitors there. Now here i was thinking North Korea was closed to the world - but nope plenty of Chinese making the crossing from the north into North Korea all the time, be it work, business or to see family. Of course the political system is crazy, but i've seen nut jobs political systems around the world. The people were very nice, very normal from what we saw. Of course the propoganda shows we were shown were a nonsense.

Daddy they are being mean

Enough now. You've cluttered this topic up with person insults and repeating the same line over and over.
